GIFT GIVING

The idea of Gift giving has always been on the lists of studies covered by psychologists, anthropologists, economist and marketing gurus in the aspect of human behavior. Based on their studies they have concluded that the giving of presents has always been part of human relationships that contributes to strong family ties and friendships.

Throughout human history both the extrinsic and intrinsic value of giving gifts have been identified. Native cultures have been known to share gifts focusing more on the person who parted the most gifts in a tribe or clan.

Other researches have also discovered that evolution tend to favor gift giving. "Notably, the use of food in exchange for sexual access and grooming has been documented in our closest ape relative, the chimpanzee."

According to Margaret Rucker, consumer psychologist at the University of California, concluded that men are more practical and price sensitive when it comes to giving gifts, whereas, women are more inclined with emotional aspect in giving and receiving presents.

Giving gifts is one of the most visible way of showing concern, reinforce relationships, and unfortunately a sign of where the ties is heading. The people on listed on your notebook to receive gifts shows the people that are close to you.

Furthermore, the giving of gifts has bigger impact on the giver because it fortifies the feeling of being thoughtful and loving. “It shows that a lot of the pleasure is in the giving, knowing you’ve taken care of someone.”http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/11/health/11well.html?_r=1<ref>
